“Katherine was Outstanding with my babies and extremely communicative. She sent detailed updates about her visits and always provide photos. My babies enjoyed their time with her and I will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
“Appreciate Monica coming a couple of days earlier for a walk thru. Dogs took her easily. We have to iron out communication when departing but no worries/issues, all seemed to have gone great”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! She sent pictures daily and my cat was very well taken care of. As a first timer I will definitely book her again. Thank you so much again for taking care of my boy.”
“Julie did a great job! She took care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat without missing a drop in visit. She sent us great pictures of our pups and kitty so we knew they were doing well while we were away. All three of the pets were in a great mood when we got home and hadn't made a mess at all. Definitely recommend Julie for pet-care in the future!”

“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing with all 4 of our animals! She was very communiticive and provided thorough updates each visit! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Great with my fur child. Awesome at communicating and keeping you updated with any situation that may arise. Kept with schedule and also flex if a change needed. Recommend 100 times over.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Kali made it just perfect! She was extremely responsive and communicative upon first contact, for meet and greet, and during each visit. She is a lovely young lady and you could tell she is very caring and great with animals...our two warmed up to her immediately. We loved getting the photos and updates at every visit. Her service made our trip away from the fur babies so much more relaxing. Thank you for everything Kali!!”
“Rachel is super responsible and a great communicator who seems to care for my pets and animals in general. I am a repeat customer who loves the way Rachel is able to calmly handle my somewhat complicated assignment to pick up Riley the dog from a dog boarding place and bring Riley home so I can have her their when I arrive home from trips and also feed indie the cat. Recommended.”
About: I grew up around dogs, all types of behaviors I have witnessed and handled. I’ve also handle 3 liters of puppies during my early adulthood including taking care of the mother and the pups while properly feeding them. From there, I would keep your dog’s needs at priority! Whether it’s feeding, walking or entertaining. I currently do not have roommates so any size is welcome! I currently work full time, yet I work from home Monday and Friday so I can keep an extra eye on your pup while taking breaks in between to ensure a walk and feeding. I’m also open on weekends! I live near 3 parks! If your pet is comfortable, I’ll be happy to take them there! I live in a quieter neighborhood and will have plenty of toys to share.
“Sherri was great with my 3 kitties. She went consistently at same time every day, sent daily communication, played with them and sent lots of great photos. I will definitely request Sherri when I need a future cat sitter.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of different pets ever since I was 5 years old from chickens to fish, cats, dogs, you name it! I used to cat sit and dog walk at my last home base in Hanscom AFB, MA. I am comfortable boarding up to 3 pets at a time whenever for however long considering they all get along! Ideally, I can do day care at my house or drop-ins (walks!) at yours between 8am-12pm M-F. I live in a one-floor ADA house so it is both special-needs and senior-friendly with an enclosed deck + pool that connects to a securely fenced backyard and plenty of space with real grass for your companion to roam free in! I am more than happy to offer supervised pool time; it’s such a great exercise for both myself and pets! I usually try to get the majority of pets outside in a day I love taking walks and I am happy to take them out as any times needed so please bring them with a collar & a leash, if possible!
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”
About: I believe dogs are family and should be treated as such! I would love to spoil your furry friend! I’m punctual and detailed when it comes to any job. I work a full-time job. I am available in the evenings/nights and weekends. I could even make some early mornings work. If times are flexible, please let me know! I take care of pets by knowing I’m in their environment first. I make sure they are comfortable before overstepping my welcome. Walking, feeding and spoiling them with lots of love are ways I personally take care of my dog.

Matthew was fantastic! He stopped by and took care of our dogs while we were were out of town for a day. He let them out, fed them, and made sure they were happy. He sent great photos and kept us updated the whole time. Super reliable and easy to work with, we’d recommend!
Thank you so much to Stacey for taking such wonderful care of Fifi. Fifi is a shy tuxedo girl, and I really appreciated how gently and attentively Stacey looked after her while I was away. Stacey's thoughtful messages on Fifi's behalf were a lovely touch. I highly recommend Stacey as a cat sitter and will definitely use her services again.
We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!! Maya took great care of our pups + did me a huge favor and took out dinner from our freezer when I had forgot! 😂 We absolutely LOVE how many extra pictures she sends, and how she plays fetch with both our pups every time she comes over!! We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!
Before Katherine, we had only ever left our dog, Xena, with family. Even then, she would often come home a little out of sorts because she was most comfortable in our home and loves her routine. When a friend who was supposed to stay at our house had a last-minute emergency, I had to find other arrangements for Xena on short notice. After visiting several boarding facilities, I knew I couldn't leave her there. Someone suggested Rover, but the thought of having a stranger come into my home when we weren't there to take care of my dog made me nervous. I read a lot of reviews, and Katherine's profile stood out. The photos she shared of her family loving the dogs she cared for won me over. Her many 5-star reviews and many repeat customers gave me confidence that she was someone special. I sent her a message, she came to visit with our family and we knew we found our person for this trip and the future. Katherine's Rover Cards were fun to read, thoughtful, and often made me smile or laugh because she seemed to understand Xena's personality so well. It was clear that Xena wasn't just being watched...she was being loved. Katherine is kind, responsible, communicative, and loves animals. I was truly able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was happy and safe. I will absolutely be using Katherine again and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Sherri has been absolutely amazing with my kitties! I asked her to see them last second and she quickly responded. She sends great pictures and plays with my kitties with the toys she brings, and they love it! I always feel at ease when she visits my kitties while I'm out of town. I highly recommend Sherri!!!
Nakisha was so nice and easy to work with! I reached out to her last minute on a holiday weekend and she was able to take the booking and schedule a meet-and-greet all within a short time frame. While we were gone, she updated us every day with pictures and description of our cat’s attitude/well being. I felt completely at ease with her handling the care of our cat and will definitely be using her from here on out!! Hiring Nakisha is a blessing for your pet care
Bobby was great! He was extremely responsive from start to finish. I requested a booking pretty last minute and he came by next day to meet the pups. My dogs immediately liked him and he was so good with them. I will 100% be booking with Bobby the next time I need assistance.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Riverview on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,516 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverview. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riverview stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverview. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
